RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. PROBLEMS? At any time, if you have a complaint about noise, messes in washrooms, inappropriate behavior, etc. please inform management preferably while the nuisance exists so immediate action can be taken. Don't lose sleep! After hours call 1-877-396-8533 from your campsite at any time so we may correct the situation. We appreciate knowing when things aren't running just right.

2. TRAILER/EMERGENCY/SEPTIC HOSES: Please install two 'Y' connectors on the water tap on your post. From the one Y run one hose to supply water to your trailer and from the other 'Y' run two hoses: one hose, equipped with a pistol grip nozzle, for instant use in case of emergency at your trailer and the other, also equipped with a hose nozzle, for use in servicing your septic.

3. FURNACES AND HEATERS: Trailer furnaces must vent safely to the outside, not into add-a-rooms. No kerosene, etc. heaters unless you have approved ventilation to the outside. These are a carbon monoxide hazard and are dangerous when not vented properly! Keep cedar branches cleared away from your trailer's furnace exhaust vent.

4. SECURING PROPERTY: Please keep your trailer, shed, bicycles, etc. securely locked when unattended. Please secure your propane tanks to your trailer, etc.

To turn off the power to your trailer you must either unplug your trailer plug from the site receptacle or switch off the main breaker inside your trailer. Check any power lines to add-a-rooms, sheds, etc. that the trailer's main breaker switches them off also. If not, unplug all appliances and equipment, and turn off all switches to ensure you are not drawing power through your meter after the season is over.
